Not the greatest

Very close to the beach as promised. House was dirty. The recliner was broken and belonged in the trash. The papa on chair was stained. The handle to the toilet broke Thursday and was still not repaired when we left Monday. The internet was unreliable and the bikes to the house were locked. The walls are paper thin and one of the bedrooms is improvised at best. The bathroom in the main hall is tiny, and the water pressure is poor is >1 person is using the water.

Owner's Response: This response makes me sad because it is defensive after this group broke several things. We have since bought a new leather recliner, replaced the handle on the toilet, fixed the handle in the refrigerator and replaced two broken beds! I'm thankful the bikes were locked up as they are our personal bikes. The cottage is back in great condition as we hired a new cleaning /maintenance crew to address issues immediately.

Blessed at Parrotdise Beach Cottage!!

Wow , what an amazing vacation! Loved the house , very clean, very nice , perfect location ! So close to everything you don't even have to drive your car! Also loved the space provided for parking . We had a full size truck ,with a trailer that had two motorcyles so parking was perfect . The space under the house provided a perfect place to store the motorcycles! House was decorated beautifully and the mattresses were more comfortable than what I have at home. Plenty of linens and beach gear. Location to the beach was perfect . So close that if you forgot something at the house there was no agruement about who would walk back to get it .. ha ha ..Loved the view , the sunsets and the bikes.. Great house ! Thank you to the owners for sharing your lovely home . It was truly a blessing ! Can't wait to go back !!

Absolutely loved this place

Thank you soooooo much for a wonderful vacation home away from home. The house was so warm and inviting AND peaceful. To be so close to the Beach was a dream come true. We rode bicycles, walked on the Beach, swam, relaxed and slept better than I could have imagine. The house was so cute. It was the ideal environment to get away from it all. Being so close to Publix was also an added treat. Thanks again fro the best vacation ever!!!

NOT on the beach

This house is NOT on the beach in spite of the VRBO description "lovely beach cottage is in a perfect location on Ft. Myers Beach! Semi privacy on the beach". There are many better options some with pools and/or hot tubs that have better locations and lower rates. I only booked this rental because it was supposedly ON the beach. Instead of the sound of surf we had the sound of near constant traffic! I let the owner know that I was very unhappy with the misleading information and would not stay if I had any other options. Also, the main bathroom is in very poor condition and the refrigerator did not work properly. On the plus side, the beds were reasonably comfortable with decent linens and the property was clean. Other times I've used VRBO/Home Away I have been very satisfied but after this experience I'm not sure I'll risk it again.

Owner's Response: The beautiful beach cottage is located on the main strip with Estero Blvd the only street between the front deck and the sand! You can see the ocean from the living room and the front deck. I would encourage all renters to speak directly to the owners so there is no miscommunication prior to booking a vacation home. This one is in a wonderful location being in the middle of the island just far enough from the large crowd yet close enough to walk or ride a bike to join in the fun! We additionally repair anything immediately to ensure a wonderful vacation! The repair company has the refrigerator working like new and a bath refurbishing company has the tub sparkling! This cottage is and will be a blessing to many that appreciate the location, convenient parking space, and decor that makes you truly feel like you are on a beach vacation!
